@thegoalkeeper Or perhaps another way to put it is that the 16th team lost to the 8th ranked team?
Belgium had our number with one easy tactic (despite the other poor performances) - Tim Ream was outmatched. Belgium put him against a giant who out muscled him....and THEN they put in Lukaku.
@SkyFootball The World Cup has been designed for them to win. Messi is a money maker for FIFA. They were given the easiest path and they still fumbled it, so the refs had to get involved and save it for FIFA.
@PeterHamby If Balogun plays and US wins, the asterisk will exist. Made worse by Trumps meddling. The card was crap, the decision to suspend is even crappier.
FIFA confirms its deep corruption.
The organization that awarded Trump an ersatz peace prize suspended the one-game red card ban imposed on Folarin Balogun – so now the USA striker can play against Belgium.
No rules ever apply to FIFA or the criminal Trump.
@WhiteHouse Trump launched his fireworks a day late and now ruined the World Cup too. His involvement with the red card decision makes it very dirty.
@USMNT should do the right thing and sit @balogun This team is too talented and deserving to have an asterisk over their wins.
@usmntonly The USMNT's path to the World Cup final:
🇧🇦 Round of 32 — Don't play Weah, Aaronson, or McKenzie
🇧🇪 Round of 16 — Don't play Weah, Aaronson, or McKenzie
🇪🇸 Quarterfinal — Don't play Weah, Aaronson, or McKenzie
🇫🇷 Semifinal — Don't play Weah, Aaronson, or McKenzie
🇦🇷 Final
